"But I don’t want to be ANYTHING like my mother.”
“What’s so bad about her?” Remus asked. “I knew her for years; sure, she was kind of short tempered-”
“And stubborn, and self-centered, and…Just like me, I guess. I don’t really hate her, I guess I’m just…mad at her. For the way she practically…abandoned me, I suppose. That’s how it feels. I never got the chance to say goodbye.”

“I TOLD you to leave us alone!” Kara snapped. “We’re perfectly happy without you intruding!”
"When did you say that?” Dani asked innocently. “I must not be remembering right.”
“I don’t doubt it, with that complete airhead of a mother you’ve got! I told you the other night at dinner, you brat.”

“This is no time to joke!” He snapped at her, suddenly irritated. “This is serious!” Corrie bit her lip, holding back a snigger.
“Actually, you’re Sir-” She started, one of their old jokes. He just glared her down.
“What is WRONG with you?” He asked, thinking he might break into hysterics. “How does this not affect you at all!?” Corrie just shrugged, yawning for affect.
“I’m just over it.”
